Presented by Vibewire

in partnership with the Powerhouse Museum

As Sydney turns on its lights for Vivid, Vibewire’s illuminating event series fastBREAK brings you a line up of speakers to present their life-changing lightbulb moments. fastBREAK: Crossroads “The Event That Changed My Life” becomes more than just a breakfast table talking point as five pocket rocket changemakers take to the stage on Sunday May 31st at the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo.

fastBREAK is a space where idea, insights, and innovation are invited together to deliver a shared experience of raw inspiration. Tastebuds will be well catered for, with local legends Black Star Pastry firing up the ovens to bring the fastBREAK audience a slice of inspiration pie, all to the soundtrack of fresh, live music.

Back-to-back sparks of inspiration, this fastBREAK’s stellar line up includes Hollie Gordon from Milaana, a student-led social change initiative empowering and connecting young people, and feeding their passion with real-world opportunities.

Amrita Tennant , an independent choreographer, dancer and performance artist descending from the Ngapuhi tribe in Northern New Zealand and the Bundjulung tribe in northern New South Wales, Australia. Amrita was introduced to the art of dance through contact improvisation, and she later expanded her technique through classical training. She was a member of the NSW Dance Ensemble from the age of 12 and toured nationally before discovering her love for cultural dances from around the world, and specifically dances originating from her own heritage. From Samba to pacific rhythms, she has since been exploring and performing various dance styles.

Laurie Marsh from young creatives group 10 x 10, an ogranisation all about creating a culture of contribution, will be sharing his insights into solving complex social issues at a local level.

Jordan Nguyen, an advocate for disability, STEM, social/environmental and sustainability causes, and pursuing passions and interests from a young age, Jordan has a huge focus on driving global positive impact and also helping others to think about how they will improve the world.

Meg Minkley,an an artist, soul adventurer and warrior of the female kind. She is a qualified educator, art therapist and university lecturer, Meg now aims to change the cultural conversation that silences sexual assault victims and prevents them from finding tools to help them survive. Meg is the artist behind A Drawing A Day, a creative project born after her firsthand experience of sexual assault in Mexico. The project is a response to the limited resources available to survivors of sexual assault. Currently Meg is continuing her one drawing per day, frequently exhibiting colour, whilst building her foundation FemFound - a creative refuge for women that looks to fill the current gap in rehabilitation from sexual assault - offering a range of resources to survivors of sexual violence.
